JAKARTA - Serie A's top club, Juventus, has received a 15-point deduction. This penalty relates to cases of falsification of value transfers and capital gains.

The sanction was imposed in a Federal Court of Appeal, Friday, January 20. This is a request from FIGC Prosecutor Giuseppe Chine.

However, this sanction is heavier than the demands of the FIGC prosecutor who asked the Bianconeri to be reduced by nine points.

The Federal Court of Appeals not only provides a 15-point deduction for Juventus. They also imposed a two-year ban on Andrea Agnelli and Maurizio Arrivobane.

While Fabio Paratici was suspended for two and a half years and Pavel Nedved was sentenced to eight months. This sanction was then submitted to UEFA and FIFA.

This puts Paratici's position in Tottenham at serious risk.

The penalty makes Juventus now 10th in the Series A table with 22 points. They were also forced to lose the sporting director because Federico Cherubini had been suspended for 16 months.

Juventus released a statement today, confirming that they have started the appeal process through CONI. Juventus also requested a reduced sentence for Sports Director Federico Cherubini.

"The company is waiting for the publication of the reasons for the decision and is currently announcing an appeal in accordance with the provisions of the Sports Justice Code," Juventus said in a statement.
